Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) department provides financial assistance to families while emphasizing work participation, education, family stability and responsibility. We identify and focus on employment goals, economic and social obstacles, and the health, safety and well-being of children and families. Caseworkers monitor families as they move through their Tribal Service Plan toward their ultimate goal of self-sufficiency and independence from program services. Eligible families have a 60 month lifetime limit. Eligibility Requirements | Application for Services
